Турция хочет вывести отношения с Евросоюзом на новый этап

Турция хочет вывести свои отношения с Европейским Союзом на новый этап в период, когда торговля с ЕС имеет очень важное значение, заявил министр финансов Турции Берат Албайрак во время пресс-конференции со своим французским коллегой, в ходе которого обе стороны подчеркнули важность турецко-европейских связей, сообщает Hurriyet Daily News.

Выступая на пресс-конференции со своим французским коллегой Бруно Ле Мейром в Париже в понедельник (27 августа), Альбайрак сказал, что недавние односторонние шаги, предпринятые Соединенными Штатами, показали, что отношения между Турцией и ЕС, особенно Францией, стали важнее, чем когда-либо. "Мы хотим вывести отношения с Европейским Союзом на новый этап", - сказал Альбайрак, добавив, что Турция хочет увеличить торговлю с Францией - с нынешних 14 миллиардов евро до 20 миллиардов евро.

Со своей стороны французский министр призвал Турцию использовать все доступные инструменты экономической политики для обеспечения устойчивого роста.

"В интересах всех, во Франции, в Турции, в Европе стабилизация ситуации в Турции", - сказал Бруно Ле Мэр журналистам вслед за значительным ударом по турецкой лире из-за напряженных отношений между Турцией и США из-за судебного разбирательства над пастором Эндрю Брансоном.

Ле Мэр сказал, что Альбайрак подчеркнул приверженность своей страны структурным реформам. "Франция призывает власти Турции придавать этому абсолютный приоритет ... используя все рычаги, доступные через экономическую политику", - отметил он.

Недавние шаги, предпринятые Соединенными Штатами против Турции, политически мотивированы и могут служить, в конечном счете, укреплению регионального терроризма и кризиса беженцев, сказал Альбайрак в ходе пресс-конференции.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
